Tomas Berdych: 'I want to go all the way after beating Rafael Nadal'

Tomas Berdych insists that he wants to "all the way" in the Australian Open after beating Rafael Nadal in the quarter-finals.

Tomas Berdych has expressed determination to win his first Australian Open title after beating Rafael Nadal in straight sets at the quarter-final stage.

The 29-year-old ended a 17-game losing run against the Spaniard by sealing a 6-2 6-0 7-6(5) victory in Melbourne.

"I was definitely ready for it," Berdych told reporters. "I set up a plan and stuck to it really well. That was the difference from the previous matches.

"[Coach Dani Vallverdu] mentioned a couple of things and they were both right. I am really happy with the way we are working together. I am feeling strong and I want to go all the way."

Berdych will face either Andy Murray or home favourite Nick Kyrgios in the semi-finals.
